I grew up in the late 60's / early 70's riding with my Dad in his Peterbilt cabover. He was a long haul trucker that took me with him during summer break from school. It takes me back every single time I see one of your videos.....thanks!
Great video on the cab over. I like the old school trucks. Looking great! Its never a question to be with the school of family especially you having young kids and wife.I retired at 63 to be with my wife who has health issues and is also retired. Its like the old saying, you can buy a new car, but you cant replace your family. Time with family is worth more than gold!
Bruce I for one am proud of you and your accomplishments. Charish every second with your family I for one lost my son due to a brain aneurysm and you just never know. The 352 is a keeper and I would love to own it and am so glad it didn't get butchered.
When I see that truck it reminds me of TV and movies like "Breaker Breaker", "BJ and the bear" or "Convoy". I came 77 ant the age of seveb to the US and stayed for six and a half years. Thats when I got hooked on trucks. I would love to see "Hank the cab over" roam the streets of Europe. He would gather a crowd at any stop on the Autobahn.
Great Video Bruce. I been following around 6 years and in that time we have all got older you got a wife now 2 kids so somethings are going to change. Change is not always a bad things you have a awesome wife 2 great looking kids and you have to adjust to give you're wife and kids the best life and your time with having a work family balance so you're family don't feel the strain. No matter what people thing Bruce in my book you're a good guy and I'm happy to be a longtime Subscriber.
Bruce, I’ve been watching your channel since day one and I’ll for sure tell you this there is always going to be changes in life, changes for better. Family is alway #1. Idc if it takes you a week to post a video life is life. We all thrive in different ways. Spend time with family enjoy that time we all I hope should understand. I mean if I honestly wanna know what you’re up to or how life is treating you all got to do is dive the hour dive and stop in on my way to Buc-ee’s
You’re a good ass dude. Family over everything that’s the real life goal. It takes a lot of time to make the perfect video for people but we understand it. I hope the little dude is okay!
Im sure everyone understands that family comes first lastnight my son had an accident he was ok but it made me think more about where i spend more time with him and my daughter.im new to your channel and from Australia and enjoy all content take it easy love family take care
Prayers for you and your family. Hope your boy stays healthy. Hes one of the cutest kids out there. Love the videos as always keep em coming and peace and joy brother. ✌️
Wow, the Peterbilt Cabover looks incredible! You've truly done a fantastic job bringing this classic back to life. It’s so retro and stylish. Kudos to you and the team! 💪
great vid Bruce glad your sons ok,ive been a HGV mechanic for over 30 years & working every weekend etc i was missing out on my family growing up & time with my parents who are in there 80's i stepped back realising theirs more to life than work,family always first,cabover looks a show winner
Great advice at the beginning. You were fortunate to be able to realize how precious life can be without suffering a tragic loss. I didn't think any cabover would ever be cooler than Blue Collar. But this Pete is starting to convince me otherwise.
Trust me man when I say this, I been driving truck over the road for the past 16 years, I’ve missed out on a lot of things with my kids and family, definitely spend every chance u can with them when they’re young cause that’s when they need u the most for guidance! ❤❤❤
My father drove Class A Trucks between 1975 or 1976 & 1986. He told me that he mainly limited his work to local runs in California so that he could spend time with his wife, kids, and his parents. Based on what I have seen over the last 12- 16 months, you have matured a lot in this time frame. This observation is mostly based on the move to Tennessee to work with the people at FCR. Then you revealed a small piece of your personal life in the beginning of this specific video. If my dad was still alive, he would talk about his two kids (me (age 51 today) and my younger/only sister who is just over 7 years younger than me). He would tell you that your observation about your family members will always be applicable to the rest of your time with them in the Earthly Realm. I survived a Type-B Aortic Dissection (similar to what killed actress Lucille Ball) in February 2010. Fortunately for me, I didn't need a surgical procedure to heal the injury to the abdominal portion of this main artery (near my kidneys). My dad was there for me and my wife. He guided my wife in dealing with the hospital paperwork and my recovery after I was discharged from the University of Loma Linda Medical Center in mid February 2010. He continued to give me advice about my marriage through the last day at his final home in the Earthly Realm before he died during an operation to amputate a portion of his lower left leg. He told me to take my wife out to go bowling (a shared hobby for the two of us). I didn't want to leave him unattended for the duration of time that we typically spent practicing for the next week of league bowling. I told him that I was very concerned about him because I knew he was ill and I was scared for him if he suffered a fall in his home with nobody to help him. He told me that my taking the time to take my wife out of our home to do something to do something that we really like was more important to him than staying at home to watch out for him. The outing really helped my wife in the way that my dad predicted on that fateful night. When we returned home, my fears about leaving my dad unattended came to fruition. I found him on the floor next to his bed. I dialed 911 for a non-emergency assistance call to help me pick my dad up and put him in his wheelchair or bed. After they did their triage assessment, they told me that he needed to get to an Emergency Room. We sent my dad to the hospital. He died some 10-14 days later. That is why I tell you that your comments about your son's recent medical scare got you thinking about the importance of taking time to do things with your family and your dad IS A CLEAR SIGN THAT YOU ARE MATURING AS A MAN. I AM ONE FAN WHO IS PROUD OF YOU. We don't know when God will call our relatives, loved ones, friends, and business associates home. My dad would agree with me in telling you to cherish the time you have with your wife, kids, friends, ect...
Bruce that's an awesome truck the year is perfect I can see myself pulling my dry van trailer all over the country with this truck congratulations for pulling this off yes family is most important in my life thanks again for sharing this video
Just re-watched the original Beverly Hills Cop, with Eddie Murphy. The opening seen has a cab over crashing into cars in Detroit. This 1979 Peterbilt looks just like the one they used in the movie . . . . More seriously, family is everything. Prayers up for your son and family. New subscriber here. Well done!
Bruce, Please take care of your family first your viewers will either understand or unsubscribe but your family is definitely first I as many love your content
I'm glad you finally spoke about your family. Thought you lost them. Always remember the only thing that ever truly matters is your your family your family
Finally talking smart I don't try to be negative I've been watching your channel since the beginning the things you do cost a lot of money and some of us don't understand why you would waste money like that if your trying to make money but I do wish you and your family the best and good wishes and if I don't even agree or like what you do I'll still watch your videos
What Bruce is trying to say spend time with your family tell your mother you love her that you love your your dad live life to the fullest cuz you don't know when it could be your last take one day at a time😊
I’ve got 3 kids, and have been married for 13 years this November. Back in September, my wife, and my 2 boys were in a head on collision, my daughter had just been dropped off at school. My wife spent 3 weeks in hospital, still trying to recover, kidney removed, completely reconstructed ankle, and shattered arm. Will probably never be 100 percent. My oldest broke his arm damn near in half, and ankle. Youngest boy collarbone and rib. My outlook has changed since then. Less phone time, less work time. Always choose family dude. I may not have back then but I sure will now.
Bruce, you and I are about the same age. I have 3 kids and with any your life just can't be the same as it was before. The awesome thing is you get to incorporate them in to this and teach them and make them part of it. That is awesome brother. Enjoy the ride! Glad your son is OK. I know how a scare like that can turn your lives upside down. Keep doing what you're doing. Been here since like 10K subscribers. Block out all of the noise, people get jealous 😂 I know I am that I don't have this Pete!
Bruce you’ve gone from a man who loves his trucks and toys to a man who wants to focus more on his family and I completely agree with that nothing is permanent
Good job on the truck. Drove a 83 like that for a while with an A model Cat and a 15 speed. I’d drive it any day of the week. Wish you’d have got your polish man to sand and polish that bumper. Needs a 48 foot stainless spread axle cooler box behind it. Rooster cruiser for sure.
Myself being in the UK, always been cab-overs, certainly as a kid with my Dad in a Volvo flatbed (Think it was an F10), with a HIAB crane on the back, delivering paving slabs and similar. Roll on today, used to work up at a retail complex just outside of Nottingham, with a massive B&Q (British version of Lowe's etc) next door to where I was, and myself being the head warehouseman, often used to be out back, and just watch some of the most fantastic big rigs coming in. We do actually get Peterbilt's in the UK (Rare though!), thanks to Paccar's UK arm, DAF UK, and I have been past the factory in Leyland, Lancashire. This, is a grand Lady for sure :)
Keep up the great videos yes they have changed a little from the transition from tractors to more so content of semis and salvage business and some towing and recovery but are still great videos and yes family does come first!
Made the same mistake Bruce, you’re absolutely correct on the family thing, money is not worth missing your kids growing up. You can give them everything but yourself, and that’s more important.
@TwinStix can help you find the perolux fog lights that fit the bumper. You should hollow out the stacks on it so it gets some good sound but doesn't take away from the original look
Hi Bruce your family comes first and take care of yourself because I love watching your videos buddy keep on TRUCKING buddy cheers from Robbie Melbourne Australia 👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪
You never can get back the lost qualitytime with family. Work, RUclips ands so is okay but you only live once with the possibility to share you lifte time with family.

Would you drive it? Let me know your thoughts!!!
Hell yeah just hire me
Great piece of history, drive that for a living?
NO!
Just tell me when and where
Yes right now
Awesome build I honestly hope you keep it and you definitely have 4 of the sickest Pete’s
Bruce, your family comes first. We will always be here. To watch your videos and support you.
God 1st.
I agree with you bud

Family is important Bruce . you look up one day and Gunter will be 30.
All the best Bruce and to your family. Family first. Thanks for your videos.
Family always comes first. We'll always be around when you get to us.
When I see that truck it reminds me of TV and movies like "Breaker Breaker", "BJ and the bear" or "Convoy". I came 77 ant the age of seveb to the US and stayed for six and a half years. Thats when I got hooked on trucks. I would love to see "Hank the cab over" roam the streets of Europe. He would gather a crowd at any stop on the Autobahn.
Family first, RUclips second. Yes, we might want content but your family comes first.
FAMILY is 1st & MOST IMPORTANT!!!!!!🙏🏾👍🏾🙌🏾🫱🏻🫲🏾🫡😎🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🇺🇸📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📢📸📽📹🎥💯
Can't grow without changing! Good message. Time with family priceless!
Even though im not a fan of anything stretched, the truck does look freaking amazing.
So many people, so many different opinions. Do what is best for YOU. You and your beloved ones. That's what matters.
I agree with your message "pave the way for generational wealth" but time spending with family is vital!! The cabover is turning out proper!!
Yes I would drive it. Reminds me of my dad's old k100. I used to ride with him when I was younger. Brings back a lot of memories.
I still drive today.
A centered life in balance is key to happiness which is true success.

I’d love to drive it. My dad drove those cabovers back in the 70s-90s. He actually owned two different ones.
Im sure everyone understands that family comes first lastnight my son had an accident he was ok but it made me think more about where i spend more time with him and my daughter.im new to your channel and from Australia and enjoy all content take it easy love family take care
Amazing!!!!!, that is what dad drove and we went with him in the summer,,, best cabover ever,, truck that made me start driving in 1984
Bruce I am glad Gunner is ok. Yes you are right life is short spend as much time as you can with your family. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I like the direction you’re going in with the Scania and the 352 , don’t care about hoods just cabovers 👌
Prayers for you and your family. Hope your boy stays healthy. Hes one of the cutest kids out there. Love the videos as always keep em coming and peace and joy brother. ✌️

Prayers for you and your family A Cabover is my dream truck

Looking good Bruce. You're doing a really good job.
Bruce you’ve gone from a man who loves his trucks and toys to a man who wants to focus more on his family and I completely agree with that nothing is permanent
Love love love this project! And great words of wisdom to live by. Peace!
Bruce you got to do what's best for your family and your self
ALL YEAH:🎉AIN'T NOTHING LIKE 👍 A,GOOD OLD TRUCK PETE NICELY DONE ✔️ VERY FINE PIECE 🎉10-4 ✔️
This truck is sick Bruce. 100% would drive it. That chain actuator for the window was very sick. Sending prayers to you and your family
I was looking for the Air Force decals for you. family always first and prayers for y’all
Good job on the truck. Drove a 83 like that for a while with an A model Cat and a 15 speed. I’d drive it any day of the week. Wish you’d have got your polish man to sand and polish that bumper. Needs a 48 foot stainless spread axle cooler box behind it. Rooster cruiser for sure.
Great video Bruce, and yes, Family time is a good thing
Drive it?? Every day!! ❤ love it might could located some 8 inch yellow fog lights I'll check on it and E mail you if my friend has some.
Beautiful cabover. Definitely a keeper.
Love the cab over and hope you and your family are doing well spend as much time as you can with them family is always most important
I like the new videos more than the ones you used to do. Much more interesting.
Myself being in the UK, always been cab-overs, certainly as a kid with my Dad in a Volvo flatbed (Think it was an F10), with a HIAB crane on the back, delivering paving slabs and similar.
Roll on today, used to work up at a retail complex just outside of Nottingham, with a massive B&Q (British version of Lowe's etc) next door to where I was, and myself being the head warehouseman, often used to be out back, and just watch some of the most fantastic big rigs coming in.
We do actually get Peterbilt's in the UK (Rare though!), thanks to Paccar's UK arm, DAF UK, and I have been past the factory in Leyland, Lancashire.
This, is a grand Lady for sure :)
Great introduction to the video Bruce I think the content has gotten better through the years.
Bruce --the bottom line is your family like you said. Thank God your Son is all well now. The old school Rig looks really done well --good job🏁
Bruce. Family always always comes first.
Brian is a class act!!
Still love watching your video's from NewZealand, Family comes first. Kia Kaha
Awesome rig looks top shelf, I would drive it anywhere! You guys did a good job on it making it right.
Just hearing the boss man brings back memories.
Family first Bruce I would watch your videos even they was just 5 seconds long you take care and love your family
Keep up the great videos yes they have changed a little from the transition from tractors to more so content of semis and salvage business and some towing and recovery but are still great videos and yes family does come first!
Made the same mistake Bruce, you’re absolutely correct on the family thing, money is not worth missing your kids growing up. You can give them everything but yourself, and that’s more important.
Spot on buddy. Yeah time with Family... Be hard for you to put phone down when your doing so well on RUclips. Tough one for sure. Good luck.
I’d love to drive a classic cab over and family comes first in my books
@TwinStix can help you find the perolux fog lights that fit the bumper. You should hollow out the stacks on it so it gets some good sound but doesn't take away from the original look
I like the trio a lot but you should put a nicer bumper on it and more lights on the back
Hi Bruce your family comes first and take care of yourself because I love watching your videos buddy keep on TRUCKING buddy cheers from Robbie Melbourne Australia 👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪
I understand, family first.
Hope your lil guys ok. Trucks looking good
Looking pretty sharp!! Yes, I would drive it
You never can get back the lost qualitytime with family. Work, RUclips ands so is okay but you only live once with the possibility to share you lifte time with family.
Videos are perfectly fine.
Yes I definitely would like to drive that cabover Peterbilt and a pogo stick for the air lines would be old school
